If You Were Restricted To a Single Fly

Recommended Posts

If you were told you'd be spending a couple of days on a world class trout stream/river, but would be restricted to using a single fly pattern and size, what would that pattern be and what size? (You also don't know what region or time of the year this trip will take place).

Partridge and orange, size 14. I can fish it from top to bottom, and it will usually produce a fish or two even when it's not the obvious best fly to be using.

A renegade (or variation of) in size 16 with a little extra hackle to float high.

Adams.

Probably in a #16 hook.

 

Old fashioned, yes.

But then I fish with my Father and Grandfathers bamboo rods.

I just like the feel of their sweat melding with mine on the old cork handle.

Unweighted hare's ear nymph. Probably in a #14. Can't believe this one hasn't been taken yet. ;)
